irrelevant and has no bearing

statement rs "there is 10 law to

extremely puerile. Let US
get to facts and learn why it is that
Manufacturers of fertilizers require
notes, waving the right to plead
failure of consideration as to results
for fertilizers. Some years hack
there was considerable complaint
BY many farmers, that they were
imposed or with worthless guano,
the consequence of which, was, q
great deal of litigation. They
sought TOR protection by Lcrisla>

analytical and practical chemistry,
and by practical experiment, that
certain elements when combined in
the proper proportion, made a good
fertilizer for the average soil OF
this country. This proportion was,
and is, two per cent. o. ammonia
and eioht per cent. Of available
phosphoric acid. If the conclusion
these Scientists reached is not cor

fraud. and should he abandoned
